Yes it is, nice and rare ww1 french mortar projectile 75mm Jouhandeau Deslandres (a 120mm launcher was also designed)

once again Minenaz you have come up trumps as we say, one more question, is the cartridge 37x94mm or a longer one and did it have a special headstamp
Thanks
Mick
 
sorry, no other info on the case. Seems to be the common 94mm with cap. For the 120 the case seems longer
